Turtle Pond

My indoor winter pond. Turtles are a little shy as this was filmed two days after I fished them out of our huge garden pond. The green pond is supposed to be be dug in the dirt in the yard, but I build a wooden frame in order to support it.

Meanwhile I have added some see through plastic walls around the perimeter and filled the water up to the top. The pond now has a dry pump underneath as well as most of the plumbing located outside to provide some more space for the turtles.

I was lucky enough to have some eggs that hatched last summer, the hatchlings can be seen at the end of the clip.

Why wait for the baby to grow ? If you have the room you might as well get a pond set up from the start. Cost arent much higher compared to an aquarium. As you see at end of my movie I also had a small blue pond for my baby RES

Pretty cool, it gives me some ideas. I am planning on getting a baby painted turtle soon and this is the kind of thing I would like to do for it when its grown. Maybe not quite as big but an indoor pond type deal.
